Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 22, 191%.

Application filed. September 2. 1913. Serial No. 787,768.

To all whom it may concern:

Be'it known that I, TIMOTHY J. GOLDEN, of Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Title Plates or Labels; and I do hereby declare the follow ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in title plates or labels and especially to such as are adaptable for use with temporary or other binders,the object of the invention being to provide a title plate which may be easily and quickly applied to any file or binder, without regard to the distance apart of the posts or other holding means which pass through the papers disposed between the covers of the binder.

A further object is to so construct the device that it may be applied to a binder regardless of the amount or number of papers which may be at any time therein.

l/Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a View of a temporary binder showing the application of my improved title plate thereto, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the title plate.

'l-represents atemporary binder, which may comprise a base board 2 from which suitable rods or posts 3 project, and a cover board & having suitable holes for the accommodation of said rods or posts,the papers 5 to be bound, being disposed between said base and cover board.

My improved title plate or label 6 may be conveniently constructed of sheet metal and is provided at its upper edge with a flange 7 to be inserted under the edge of the cover board 4. The flange 7 is provided with a roughened upper face which will engage the under face of the cover board and tightly hold the device from displacement when the cover board is pressed down upon said roughened face. The roughened face of the flange 7 may be conveniently formed by numerous upward punchings which will cause numerous teeth or projections 8 to project upwardly from the face of said flange and, when the device is in position, embed themselves in the under surface of the cover board.

The front face of the title or label plate 6 is coated with a flat paint, preferably light in color, on which suitable data may be written with a pen or other marking device.

My improvement is exceedingly simple in construction; is applicable to any temporary or other binder having a cover board; can be easily and quickly applied, and will be held securely in place when in use.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

A label for a temporary binder, consisting of a single piece of metal bent longitudinally, forming a solid vertical front member adapted on its exposed face for the reception of an inscription and a horizontal member having numerous punchings forming numerous teeth projecting from the outer face of said horizontal member, said teeth being distributed over substantially the entire outer face of said horizontal member to engage a part of the binder independently of the posts thereof. 4

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
